President’s Message

After serving on the Museums Associations of Montana (MAM) Board of Directors for several years, I am honored to take a turn as President. In the years I have been with the organization I have seen dramatic growth. Each year the annual conference gets better and better, membership increases, and MAM continually finds new ways to share information with our members.

The Associations’ greatest strength is in its members and Board of Directors. I would like to extend a special thanks to Paul Shea, the previous President of MAM. Paul is a colleague as well as a close personal friend and all of us on the Board wish Paul the very best in his future endeavors and we look forward to working with him for many more years. I would also extend a thank you to Penny Redli who works so hard for this organization as the Secretary and Treasurer. Sue Near, Deb Mitchell, and the Montana Historical Society deserve a mention of thanks for all they do for the organization. I welcome two new Board members, Bette Hull and Jim Beley to our ranks, new energy is always a welcome addition.

There is much happening for Montana’s museums lately. Most importantly is the work being done by the AASLH regarding the Federal Formula Grant Program. Next year will be pivotal in that effort to secure museum funding for states. We will be sure to keep everyone informed on the progress of that program.

The City of Billings will host our annual Museums Association Conference in 2009. I look forward to meeting all of you there.

Sincerely,

Bill Peterson
